Small Dole Action Group Success

Thanks to the Small Dole Action Group the planning application to West Sussex County Council for a gypsum recycling plant on the sawmills site has now had to be withdrawn.

The applicant has had to withdraw the planning application as a result of a Screening Direction undertaken by the Secretary of State. This planning application had also been previously rejected by Horsham District Council.

The Small Dole Action Group has kept up a tireless campaign to prevent this facility obtaining planning permission. It was considered that a recycling plant would have had a severe environmental impact on the Industrial Estate and local community if allowed to go ahead.
